Me too. I've owned several and without exception the cords turn brownish, get soft, and then ultimately fray. I've tried all sorts of ways to gently wind/pack them, all sorts of preventative tapes/heatshrink tubing, but eventually (2 years, tops) they all fail. I like the (relatively) light weight and decent design, but they simply don't last.
